Introduction to Shopping Sherlock

I`ve been working online for some time now and I don`t remember the situation where the need for facts and true information about something has been bigger as in case of Shopping Sherlock. Mostly because of all these distorted and inaccurate reviews that I have seen already being placed around the internet. I could give you several examples here but I don`t want to waste your time. There was one in particular in which everything that was said is opposite from the truth.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the old review! Please proceed to the new and updated one, HERE!

I will explain what is wrong with some of those claims in this review because you need facts in order to make intelligent decision. But, if you were unfortunate enough to see any of these false reviews and believe them, you would miss one of the greatest opportunities for home based business on the planet.

Shopping Sherlock is the company that has been in business for little over 3 years now. Under the leadership of companies CEO Michael Wiedder, it experienced quite rapid growth since it started. That is not strange in any way, if you properly understand what Shopping Sherlock really is and what it does.

We are talking about mobile e-commerce business here, the fastest growing business segment in the world today. Let me explain; there were almost 2 billion mobile phone users in the world back in 2011, and the general trend of mobile traffic and e-commerce has been a growth of about 20% per year since than. Last year, mobile e-commerce passed by it`s desktop equivalent as predicted back in 2011.

What that mean is, more and more people are using their mobile phones to go to internet and buy things, rather than desktop. And, that is exactly what Shopping Sherlock does, providing the most valuable service within this segment.

Shopping Sherlock app

Get your app

Instead of describing the app and how it works why don`t you just take it, install it and see for yourself how good it is. Also, watch this short presentation, it´s less than 2 min long.

Just remember, if you register for desktop version, you will need to confirm the registration in the e-mail sent to you, which is not the case when you use the app on mobile phone. Your code is 841313. Just click on the banner to the right.

The app itself is service rather than a product. It is a search engine created to do one thing only; helping you to get the best deal (price) for whatever you need to buy. Yes, there are other apps that do similar thing but they don`t operate as wide as Shopping Sherlock which incorporates the whole market within the country or area you live in. Also, you could do the same searches on Google but it will take you hours to make same comparisons and get that best deal you are looking for. SS does that within few seconds.

Now, allow me to clarify one thing and correct some wrong claims made in other reviews. The app is free to get and use. You only need the invite code from the licensed distributor. But some people don`t like this, saying that it creates some kind of elite-like, “who is the lucky one to get it”, situation.

Trust me when I tell you, every distributor will be more than happy to give it to you. It means business to him. Nobody makes any kind of “who is gonna get it” selection. So, it has nothing to do with it. It has only to do with the particular business model that company has chosen from beginning and that is- relying on licensed distributors to spread the app around the world.

And, that is what we are doing. It will take some time to reach all people but sooner or later everybody who wants to have it, will get it together with the code. That is all there is to it.

Shopping Sherlock business opportunity

As I already mentioned, the company pays it`s distributors to share the app with absolutely everyone. In this way distributors are actually developing the company. The company tracks the activity of every user and pay the distributor accordingly. But, the usage commission is only one of 9 different ways of payments waiting for you. I will cover all those details later.

So how does this looks like in reality? Once you get your license, you start giving the app to everybody you meet. Since mobile e-commerce is so common today, everybody takes it right away. You will still find people who don`t buy things online. But by my experience, 8 out of 10 people take it right away, no questions asked. It`s not strange, it`s FREE! So, you don`t have to worry about it at all.

It is important to mention one thing. Sharing the app had positive impact on my social life! I did not need it but I made new friends in the process. If you have difficulty talking to people, this will definitely bring the same kind of improvement to you too. People open up when you give them something of value without charge. You start talking spontaneously, you show them how to install the app and then, anything can happen.

Is Shopping Sherlock MLM Scam?

MLM scam?

Now, we came to the crucial aspect of the whole thing. Many other reviews gave the very negative picture when it comes to sponsoring new distributors into the business. They basically claim that SS is a MLM scam. Those reviewers never understood how this business really work and they made wrong conclusions based on limited information.

So, let me explain this so that you will know exactly how it works and what it is all about. In any classic MLM type of business, you are basically dependent on your success in getting new people into the pyramid. It means that you need to convince them to get in and basically sell them the whole system. This is NOT how this business work.

Let me explain! In the process of sharing the app, a certain number of people will start asking you questions. They will ask; “How come you have it and give it away” or “How does this work”. You give them answers which often lead to other questions like; “Really, you make money on this?” or “Is this really true?”. It is inevitable that some of them will want to join.

Most people you will meet need more money and some of them are business minded. And this, being such a great opportunity, will be attractive to them. So, what do you do in such case? You get them into the business, of course!

Understand that there is no pressure in getting new people into this business.You don`t depend on it either. If you want you can just focus on sharing the app and collect the usage income. And, that is more than enough to make great living for yourself. That`s how this is different from MLM.

You can do this business in two ways!

With the active approach or passive. As I have already said, you can just focus on sharing the app, slowly build the number of users and collect the payment from that. That could be done easily and slowly, which means passive approach.

When it comes to the work load, the general guideline is 7-10 hours a week. So far I worked way less than that and still managed to develop the business. So, it is not time consuming. If you are more ambitious, you can take active route. You can do more and advance faster, if you like.

It`s really up to you how fast you will go with this. And, it requires no investments or risks.

PROS/CONS

I guess, it`s all about the perception of the viewer, but after a few months of work as distributor, I could not honestly find any cons with this. This business works 100% of time for everyone who spend time with it and do the work. What more could any one of us desire?

WHO IT IS FOR?

The app itself is for everybody who wants to buy things online. Every app user benefits heavily from it, saving time and loads of money. It is the simple fact! When it comes to the business opportunity that company offers, it is basically the same thing.

It is for everyone who looks for REAL opportunity for extra income or stable, long-term and successful home based business, without making any investments or taking risks. And, no previous experience or knowledge is required.

Students, unemployed, extra income seekers, opportunity seekers… you name it, anybody who is ready to put some time and a bit of work into it. And, especially for affiliate marketers for whom this is the gold mine. They are in a bit of advantage since they know how to promote this business globally online. That is the reason why we teach proper affiliate marketing techniques to everybody who joins our team.

TRAINING/TOOLS OVERVIEW

There has been a lot of confusion when it comes to tools and training available for this business as well. Again, a lot of inaccurate and uneducated claims about lacking training material has been made. Let me rectify this as well and tell you how it really is.

Upon joining this business you immediately get professionally designed tools created for you, from the company. You get your Shopping Sherlock website, app-giving/sharing page and marketing page.

SS website

Let me show you how they look. Click on the picture to the right, this is my SS website. My app-sharing page you have already seen by clicking on the picture above when you took your app. Every distributor receives those and they make the whole work much easier cause you don`t have to make them yourself.

You also get PDF with the basic training created from the leading affiliates. That is what you start with, but it goes way beyond that. First, you work together with your up-line which is the person who sponsored you into the business. That is how it works. For example if you join, you will be working with me and my team. I will show you exactly how to develop the business using all available tools and methods.

And that is not all, you also have the assistance from my up-lines and highest, most successful affiliates within the business. With other words, the top quality training is available to you, all free of charge. Once you enroll, you get it all. This is how it works. You are in the business for yourself but never by yourself.

SUPPORT

Of course there is the support where you can contact the company directly for whatever issue you may be facing. You do it from inside your back office or within the app itself. Most of the time you won`t be needing it, cause we always fix things within the team first, and it is usually done very quickly. But in case you do need support, it`s there, available at any time.

PRICE

The price for joining is one time payment of $250 for license. After that it costs $35 a month for keeping the license active. There are no other costs than this.

I have previously mentioned that this business requires no investment and here I`m telling you that the license cost $250. Opposing information, isn`t it? Actually, NO.

It`s true that you need to pay that money for license but it`s the question of time when you will earn that money back, and start generating profit. It took me 3 weeks to earn it back and make more than $35 a month. From that point you have the business for life, free of charge!

FINAL OPINION

You may think I`m biased here cause I am the actual distributor. I don`t blame you, I can actually understand that view cause you have probably been scammed before, just like I was. But, the fact I am the distributor puts me in the position from which I could tell you exactly how it is.

Highly Recommended

This is truly one of the greatest business opportunities for average people like you and me on the planet right now. It is solid and REAL! That is why I give it 10 out of 10 mark.

You don`t sell anything, you share the amazing product for free and watch your business grow. You will not be rich quickly with this but if you give it some time and do some work, YOU WILL BE!

Still, the best thing with this business is the team. We are close, working together, helping each other to advance. You will have to see it for yourself to understand. It is the best possible environment for success!

This is the first time I came across Shopping Sherlock, I am already involved in a company which provide cashback on top e-commerce websites around the world but it did not worked on apps, and hence I can compare shopping sherlock with it and understand the value of shopping sherlock, but it looks like shopping sherlock does not operate all over the world as of now, as I am unable to see anything relelated to my country.

Yes, you are right. It does not operate in every country yet, but that is exactly what we distributors do as we speak. The biggest growth is in Asia and South America and that is where we are expanding it now. I don`t know where you live but it is the question of time before SS is established there. It only takes 200 distributors within the country to establish the SS app and service.

Hi Igor,
This is a very interesting and new way to earn money by sharing this app. I have never heard about it. Is it new? or a lot of company doing this already. I will check that out and the new method is very cool. Thanks for sharing this great information to us.

There are other apps for e-commerce out there but SS is unique in the way it operates. You need to have a little more complete picture about the mobile expansion in order to fully grasp how great opportunity this is. Don`t hesitate to contact me if you want to find out more. Send me the e-mail and we can schedule skype call.

I love your website and the concept! Awesome job! Wonderful site you have here. I love the layout. Clean, crisp and quite professional. Wealthy Affiliate is definitely the place to be to discover the true path on a successful online business opportunity. If anyone else is reading this, you should join Igor and I on the inside: 10 years strong, Fantastic Training, a Free website just like this, fully functional and Live Expert Help. You’ll NOT find a better, more advanced Learn-As-You-Earn real business opportunity anywhere!

I am already a premium member in the WA. And, you are right, it is amazing place to be.
Shopping Sherlock is the separate business opportunity where you work with the specific thing.
Still, they are connected in many ways.

Yes, Shopping Sherlock is fully operational in Canada. Being in business for just a bit over 3 years, it is still new to many. But the success of it has been incredible so far, cause it is the service that everybody can use to its benefit. That is what makes this business so good. If you would like to know more, don`t hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to assist you.

This is a very detailed overview of Shopping Sherlock and the business opportunity it represents. I have never heard of it before – and it seems interesting. I will have to spend some time and check out the app – I do agree that more and more people are using their mobile device over a desktop computer. Thanks for the information – I will definitely consider this opportunity.
Jeff

It is not strange that you have not heard of it before cause the company is still very young, little over 3 years old. It is good that you like it, don`t hesitate to contact me for more info or any question you may have about it! In the meantime enjoy your app, it is really good. This summer I bought 2 weeks in Greece all inclusive and save $1100 with it.

Hi Igor, after reading your interesting article I am still struggling to understand what Shopping Sherlock is. Maybe that is because I could not open the video. Why don’t you start by telling what it exactly is and most importantly, how you can make the money. Maybe, in that way, you will attract a bigger audience. Cheers, Jerry

I don`t think I can explain better what it is. I gave very detailed info about it. Yes, there is more to know but you will need to contact me on skype for that. As for the video on the page, it works fine! I just checked it out.

Hello Igor You rate this Shopping Sherlock very highly 10/10 so it must be working for you. I have never heard of this app before reading your review and I must say it sounds intriguing. Particularly that it’s a free give away that people can use to find deals and save money.

In your review you didn’t explain how much you make as an affiliate I guess it’s a percentage of the monthly fee that others pay to be an affiliate? So how many people do you need in your group to cover your monthly outgoings?

The reason why I didn`t explain the full payment plan in detail is cause it is too much to type. There are additional 8 more ways to earn money with this, so that is something I need to give in person, usually on skype. The basic, usage commission is calculated usage percentage of every registered user you have. 10/10 is accurate rating and yes it is working very well not only for me but for every active distributor as well.

In this business you don`t need people to join to cover anything for you. You can develop this business only by usage income. But team building is growing it even further.

Hello Igor,
When I was first introduced to Shopping Sherlock I was very skeptical. In all honesty, I never took the time to really investigate the platform and the products it offers. You changed my mind though. You mentioned the fact that the internet became a mobile territory. Thatâ€™s a very valid statement and triggered me to review S.S again.
Thanks! Marcel

Many people are skeptical when they are first introduced with SS business opportunity. That is because in case of this business, you need to get the whole picture in order to fully understand what this is all about. I am constantly in the process of explaining it to people who get attached to one thing and do not even try to look at something more. This is how many miss this and I do what I can to enlighten them.

I read your article about Shopping Sherlock Review. After reading your article, I gained a clear understanding about this business opportunity. I feel that this is something that is worth trying in the future. Your review is very thorough and clear and it is very clear to me. I will contact you in the future if i have more questions about Shopping Sherlock.

Hi! This is my first time coming to your website and my first time hearing about Shopping Sherlock. It sounds like a useful app and it is good that it is free. How do you promote it? I have tried promoting things on Facebook in Work At Home Opportunity groups but have got absolutely no where with it, even promoting a free product. Just a waste of time for me. The price sounds a little hefty but if you said you made your money back so quickly then I guess it’s a good investment.

Yes, one of the best investments I ever made. If you approach this business from the past experience you will miss it, cause Shopping Sherlock business is very different from everything else. It`s easy to promote good product no matter if it`s free or not.

Great review Igor, you really went into detail of what Shopping Sherlock is all about and the different ways that you can build an income off of it in an ethical manner!

Everyone wants to save more money and they certainly want to make more money and this caters for both. With any business opportunity it’s vital that you have a great support team when working through the tough moments when encouragement is needed.

I also think it’s very important that you have a long-term plan for building a business for yourself, as you said it doesn’t happen over night but with consistent action you end up going in the direction you want!

Cheers I’ll be checking it out when they start up in Ireland and looking forward to your next post,

You are absolutely right! Everyone wants to save more and make more money. Thanks for reminding me that, I guess I don`t think about it much. The team is really the most important asset in this business cause we don`t leave anybody to work alone and struggle.

It looks to me that this would be right thing for you so I`ll make you a promise. You don`t need to wait for it to get to Ireland, you should engage now! But, I will keep your e-mail and let you know when it comes close to be established there, if you so desire.So, you will know first.

I must say the Shopping Sherlock review is very interesting. Since so many people have a cell phone and everyone likes to get the best deal when they buy something online it appears that this business is a winner. I like the idea that the start up costs are minimal and almost anyone with a smart phone or a PC is a potential customer. The fact that your customers do not have to pay anything to use the service is another plus also.

Obviously, you have grasped the whole concept very easily. You make money by giving something away for free and it is of universal value to anyone. I agree with you that start up costs are minimal but some people think it`s too big. The thing is that the money invested is made back very quickly.

If you want me to show you more or have any more questions, don`t hesitate to contact me!

I think you understand this very well. It is not much that separates Shopping Sherlock from Wealthy Affiliate, both being affiliate marketing. WA is primarily training and learning center. SS is more exact business opportunity in mobile segment. Knowledge from WA is perfect to use for developing SS business and it is exactly what I do.

SS is not better but equally powerful. It is the only business that is on the same level as WA in quality and therefore perfect additional business to do at the side from WA. Again, it is what I do.

If you want to know more, just let me know! I`ll be happy to assist you in any way you need!

Hi, Nataly! Yes, its true but It was more than that by the end of first month.
I don`t remember exactly, but I think I ended with $75. Personally, I didn`t see
it as significant so much. It was just a start.

Average time, I don`t know, but all within the team I know had similar start. It
usually come through the team, at the beginning. As example, the first month I had
also the usage commission of over $10, but usage commission for every month is
calculated and payed off the second month later, so I needed to wait around eight
weeks to see the first one. Now, it`s regular.

I hope the answer was informative enough and thanks for asking! Feel free to contact
me at any time if you have other questions.

I guess you are talking about app registration. When the registration doesn`t work for some reason, you always get the message why it is so. Try again, check the e-mail you are using for it and if it doesn`t work, send me an e-mail to igor@independent-entrepreneur.com. We can get together on Skype and we will do the process again to find the problem.

Thanks for letting me know about it! I will look for to hear from you about it.

The SS business is very legit, solid and real, but I do recommend everybody to do the research and don`t take my word for it. The research pays of in many ways. Especially, if you decide to join it cause the first thing to do would be to learn all aspects of it.

It is good that I saw some profits so early but it is more important to build the business gradually to the higher level. This is the part of the training within the team and it`s most vital. If you need to know anything else, just let me know!

Of course you want to know more! It`s just comment sense. The last thing I would advise anybody to do, is to get into something without extensive research. And yes, it works in US! It actually comes from US. May I suggest the Skype call? I do regular presentations this way. This is serious business and this is very suitable for business minded people to see the business directly. Just let me know and we will meet.

Top review on this shopping sherlock offer – a site I have not come across before!
I did quite like the sound of the opportunity but by the end of the review I changed my mind. It still very much sounds like an MLM system to me – no matter how it get dressed up! Have you made much so far through using the system?

This is not the “system” but a business. And it`s hardly MLM even though there is a team building as a part of it. It is not what this business is all about. It is about app distribution. You work as a consultant that inform people about it, and teaching them how to use it.

Still, I understand your view, many people fail to understand the full magnitude of this opportunity. Nevertheless, thanks for the comment!

Hi Igor
Thanks for sharing this review. I haven’t heard of Sherlock Shopper before. I am not keen on MLM personally, plus this seems like a big expense to start off with. Is there a money back guarantee on this or a free trial so I can see how it looks on the inside first?
Kind Regards
Lynne

Thanks for the inquiry! This not the MLM as people know it. Actually, it is not the MLM at all even though the team building follows that pattern. The company doesn`t offer money back guarantee because it is up to existing distributors to educate future ones, and help them develop their business. There is no need for trial either, because I meet with every new potential distributor on skype and show them everything, inside and out, before they even consider to join.

This is way more serious business than most people realize, so we do a lot of work in the beginning in order to make possible for people to make educated decisions about this business. In my case, I personally offer money back guarantee, but only to serious and professional people.

If you think you want to know more, let me know. I will show you everything with no obligations form your part.

Thank you for such nice comment, I appreciate it! It happened that I checked what others write about the company and it`s business opportunity, and was amazed by wrong and uneducated claims. I do not understand that and I was compeled to rectify it. The truth is the truth, and it must be told.

The company is real and legit. The opportunity it offers to it`s affiliates is really great. Investigate more and if you need any help, let me know!

Hi Igor,
I’m a little confused at what this shopping Sherlock is. You explain that you can search items to kind of like Google. Does the app send you to specific sites associated with the item searched for? Or do they sell it themselfs?

You explained a little bit about advertising the program but I don’t understand how you make money doing it. First you say it’s free, they you day it costs you 250, I’m just don’t like paying to be an affiliate for something.

Please clear the air, you rated this as 10 out of 10 and I’m interested

Let me explain little better! Sherlock does not sell you anything, nor does it lead you anywhere for any reason. When you search for a product to buy, it collects all results for your search within the whole market, and puts it in front of you within few seconds. This way you can easily find the best price and save money. It is amazing what kind of deals you find using it. I saved a lot of money since I started using it back in april this year.

Money with this business is made through usage income and team building. Usage income comes from your app sharing. The users that use the app with your invite code generate profit for you every time they use it. You don`t need any team building, cause the usage income is very strong. But team building can be additional income.

I said it requires no investment despite the fact that the license costs $250. What I actually ment by this is that it is the question of time when you will earn back that money. So you do not risk anything unless you forget about it and do nothing. You do not get stuck in this business because you work closely with your uplines but of course you need to want it. It doesn`t take much and you learn a lot through this business.

I gave the mark 10 out of 10. The reason for this is simple. This business is real and legit. And when I calculated how lucrative and powerful it is into the equation, this is the mark I got. It is more than worth the time and effort.

I hope I gave a little more clarity to your questions. I appreciate your comments and inquiry and if you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact me again.

Hi, I stumbled upon this site, which is amazing I must say! Such a useful and quality content and site layout overall . Very good written and easy to understand, especially for beginners.
I will definitely visit your site in the future, thank you very much for sharing this knowledge and good luck.
Best regards

Wow. An interesting and informative review about Shopping Sherlock. This is the first time I heard about Shopping Sherlock and its service and usage. For what I had read, it provide a quick search and price comparison for an item. This is a really great business idea. The 1 thing that got to me is that it is not really free as it need a one time payment of $250 for its license and $35 monthly cost.

You are right it is not free but you have missed my explanation and the point of it. What I was trying to say is that despite the cost, every distributor I know quickly get that money back and start generating profits. That is why I made this kind of comparison. I have recently written a new review because of new features recently introduced. The business got more lucrative and powerful and it is more than worth to take a look: http://independent-entrepreneur.com/sherlock-natio…

I admit the idea sounds quite interesting and the app may prove to be useful , i’ll keep in mind this review for the future. The initial payment is quite some money and that may pull back people from trying it, i know that when you want success you either need to invest money or time or both, do you know if it has any more flexible payment methods?

There are no good business opportunities that do not require some level of investment in both time and money. Some people see this amount as big investment, but since 1 November, the price actually went up a bit. This is the old review. It is still valid in all details but I have published a new one because of the expansion of the business and new updates, released in September this year. You have missed the link inside but take a look at it here: http://independent-entrepreneur.com/sherlock-natio…

The way I see it, this investment is insignificant because the business is very solid and lucrative. Of course, every individual decides that for himself. All I can do is present it the way it is. I don`t know what you mean by more flexible payment methods, but the thing is simple; you need to buy the license and after that you have the monthly fee.

Of course, if you have any other questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks for the comment!

I’ve seen these kinds of websites before but never heard of this one. I enjoy these kinds of sites since I do a lot of online shopping, especially around the holidays. If I can make a little extra money by sharing the app with others, all the better. Are there any other sites similar to this that you could recommend?

I don`t think there are other similar things out there. At least nothing I know of. If you do a lot of online shopping then this is right thing for you and you will benefit immensely. Try it out and see for yourself. After all, it is free!

Hey, I’ve never heard of Shopping Sherlock before, and it seems too good to be true to me. I see you have it a score of 10 out of 10, so you must really like it. When I first read this, I misread what you wrote. I thought it said that you earn $250 just for signing up and get paid $35 just for keeping your account active. If that were te case, it would be easy to earn lots of money. Just open up lots of different accounts under different names. Sadly, though, I was mistaken, and this is actually the price that you have to pay to be a member. Oh well, never mind. I just have to make sure I read things properly in future and not get too excited.

Yes, it is always a good idea to read the material properly. Otherwise, you may miss a vital information that may be important to you. It is also a good thing to not get too excited cause it clutters a vision. Good things usually come through the back door, and you may miss them too.

I had never heard of shopping Sherlock before now. Quite a great business concept to get paid for buying things you already do. I am just curious, is there anything else that you get paid for on this site, like referrals etc. I was wondering why it is such a great business idea. I was happy to see that you could purchase a great variety of stuff through them, including flight tickets. Also, do they support dollars, euros or both? Thanks for sharing, I will consider signing up even if its just for the discounts!

This application is free, so you risk nothing trying it out. Yes, there is more than just the app. There is Sherlock Local where you can sign up businesses and give them the opportunity to sell their products on this application. Of course you get the percentage of every sale they make.

You have a fundraising as well that you can give away to everybody who is in need to raise money. This brings profits to you as they use it. Licensed distributors also have another great benefit in form of special search engine for travel and hotels all around the world. I have not tried it yet but my colleagues tells me that it is by far the most powerful tool for finding incredible discounts. This is very lucrative for people who travel a lot, so even if they are not interested in doing business, they profit from buying the license.

You actually saw the old review and missed all these details. You have a link in the page, but you can find it here as well.

This is so neat! I had never heard of Shopping Sherlock before. I do a TON of shopping online. I have 3 year old twins at home, and very rarely get out to shop. Shopping with twins is chaos, and when I have ‘just me’ time out, I usually go to yoga. So almost everything I buy (except food) comes from the internet.

I know how it is and I can imagine that twins can make the process pretty impossible. This page is the old review and I think you should visit the new one because of the updates made last year. I believe the loyalty program would interest you because you can earn valuable gift cards. The link for the new review is on the page, you have just missed it.

Sherlock is perfect everyone, especially for you, because you cat just take out your kids to shopping. Well, grab it, test it and see what it will give. I am pretty regular user myself even though I am not a great shopper. But it does save me a good deal of money!

This is a very intriguing description of a mobile business from anywhere – online. So much so that I will be looking further myself – well flowing explanation and compelling positive comments from successful marketers.

I have tried MLM companies in the past – the registration fee of 279 and the monthly fee of 49 sounds sooo much like the typical come on by MLM companies. I personally almost left when the initial price and monthly fee is stated immediately – the only reason I continued was the Wealthy Affiliate connection. I would have reacted more positively if I was convinced of my need for the business before I was told how much it would cost me.

My invite to participate is a great idea – I could actually see the money I would save in my own shopping – Now to convince someone to use this and the results should be self apparent.

Thanks for taking time and sharing your thoughts on this. I perfectly understand what you mean, and I can tell you, I generally support the notion of staying away from MLM! Simply because they are usually worthless as business possibilities. Scratch the surface and you find they are not a possibility at all.

And prices are usually bigger than Sherlocks. I recently did a review on IPS, which is claimed to be a new MLM hype, and it cost $135 a month, which is much more expensive than Sherlock and there is no business at all, just the pyramid.

Sherlock is exception to MLM, simply because you have great business in form of a very valuable FREE product. Business is a business, regardless of the business model, and that is what we are talking about here. Where else do you find the opportunity to give away something for free and get residual income from it? That is why I do it. And it is going great.

I also like the idea of putting the investment(price) right in front, cause if somebodies initial reaction to it is negative, it only means it is not the right thing for that person. The way I see it, the price is irrelevant cause it is peanuts money, and it is all about finding the suitable business opportunity for ourselves.

Affiliate marketing and prospecting go greatly together cause they are compatible with each other. Techniques for doing both melt together in so many ways, and that helped me immensely in developing the Sherlock business.
